​RETRIVAH

​

Born in Tokyo, Japan and I have been composing music since my childhood. I started my career as a sound designer after studying at the Aoyama Gakuin University and Central Saint Martins (University of the Arts, London), where I studied politics, phenomenology and contemporary sculpture, and worked at a consulting firm.

I create conceptual music backed by logic and sensitivity for artists and companies in various fields, in Japan and abroad. Using my experience as a consultant, I can accurately capture the concept according to each client and project. This deep level of understanding allows me to ensure my audio branding. I specialise in cinematic sounds, electro, ambient and modern pop music, and my fully equipped studio with high end analog equipment with the latest technology, helps me provide high quality products that originate from a high-quality environment. I fuse sound design and musical beauty to create a modern essence. Additionally, through recent commercial partnerships with A&M Group, Inc.(Japan), I have been able to create and produce music with many of the world’s most famous artists such as: The drummer who is the part of Elton John, Brian Adams, Pet Shop Boys' recording team, The Keyboardists who is the part of David Bowie, Phil Collins’ recording team , The tour guitarists of Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker, Brian May, as well as with the entire cast of an orchestra in Germany.

The beauty of sounds and auditory information in our daily life has the same value as the beauty of prepared music. My mission is to create universal beauty through the eclecticism of these two. I believe that contemporary music/sound design should be based on creative thinking, value creation and about making sense (sense-making). It is with a foundation of overwhelming sense in music created by rich, life experiences and quality thought formation, that I can deliver exceptional work.This is an area that cannot be overcome by technology alone.
